Applications Engineered for Change

YouTube of Finance

One of the Fortune 100 media company wanted to launch its online video application for financial industry. Termed as the YouTube of Finance, Sodel helped the company architect its new product and develop solutions for all screen sizes.

With over 1000 videos being added to the application regularly by its content partners, the challenge was to index, transcribe and tag the video content in extremely less time to make the content available to users. Further with hundreds of thousands of users on the system, availability and scalability was a challenge.

Sodel helped the company launch a beta in 6 months and continues to enhance its features on web and mobile.

Live Social Streaming Network

One of the largest media company in the world, wanted to create a live social video streaming solution for its millions of global readers. Viewers are auditioned and invited live to join on-air sessions. The product saw 15 million users in the first month. A few on-air programs saw over 4 million users in a single day and a maximum of 224,000 concurrent users. The system has had zero downtime so far.

Apart from dealing with the high traffic and availability, the challenge in the product was to enable collaboration among hosts, audition teams and content schedulers across UK and US. Available for web and phone Sodel helped the company launch the product in 3 months.

Largest Sports Network

Sport195.com is a global social network featuring sports from over 195 countries. With over 2.5 million users, the platform is the fastest growing network of athletes and university leagues globally. The product is now available over all screens and is designed on the principles of SOA.

Created over big data platforms, the challenge in the product was variety (apart from volume and velocity). With over 200 sports, the variety in creating leader boards, athlete profiles and recommendations was a huge effort. However, with NoSQL technologies like Cassandra and MongoDb the product platform created is highly flexible and agile.

Social Gamification

Visa wanted a launch a nationwide campaign to showcase how Visa helps fulfill the dreams of Indians and highlights the benefits of e-commerce.

For the same Sodel along with BBDO Proximity helped Visa create a social gamification platform based on Gigya. The solution helped the company launch its campaign in 6 weeks and provided the marketing team with detailed analytics for monitoring, measuring and making changes to the campaign. Campaign also won “Best Social App of the year” at Wat Awards 2013

The project is now in its second year with more features and is also being considered to be launched in other Asian countries.

System Integration

With well established, standards led data models the integration of systems to get a single view of the business is now possible in quick turnaround times. One of the fastest growing companies in US wanted to just that.

Working with a consulting company, Sodel helped the large companies standardize its data models from various systems to provide operational intelligence and workflows from top managers to engineers and supervisors. We integrated their reserves and economics system, field data gathering system, plant management system, ERP and marketing management system in a loosely coupled fashion to allow for future changes in systems and processes.

The system is now used to maintain data consistency across the enterprise and provide a standard datawarehouse architecture for business intelligence and application integration.

Master Data Management

When one of our clients wanted to integrate systems and get a single view of operational intelligence, Master Data Management was identified as one of the key components.

Sodel helped the company implement its Master Data strategy to get a single view of its business. Sodel helped the company create and enhance its asset master with data governance and stewardship workflows. The system is now being extended to take care of equipment and other capital assets.

Production Data Management

To get a single view of operations and manage operational risks, it was important for our clients to manage the quality of its production data across systems. Sodel helped the company improve the quality of its production data and implemented data governance workflows for decentralized management of information. The system used the master data system for integrating data across various applications.

The implementation resulted in on-time month end closings and significant improvement in productivity of production accountants and field supervisors.

Power Trading & Risk Management

The power trading division of one top 5 power generators of India was growing geographically making risk management, process management and audits a tough ask. The company approached Sodel because of its expertise in the energy domain.

Sodel worked with the client to develop risk management KPIs and stage gates for managing risks and standardizing trading process. The system was developed on Microsoft Sharepoint and is being used for spot trades, Bilateral OTC trades and Swaps.

E-commerce on PaaS

One of the largest automobile companies wanted to use its current CRM (Siebel) and ERP to build an e-commerce portal.

Given the supply chain and dealer complexity of the automobile industry a zero footprint e-commerce application was required to launch the application in a quick turn around time and use existing infrastructure to keep the support costs low.

Cordys’ business operations management system was used to connect different subsystem and create workflows and business rules. An app was then created on this newly added middleware to provide the complete e-commerce system.
